Gio Charleston

The Charleston nylon stockings are genuine nylons with a playful high heel and are flat knitted on original cotton machines. They are then carefully sewn together by hand, resulting in the classic seam that gives the stockings a nostalgic touch reminiscent of the 1950s. There are only a few manufacturers left worldwide that still produce such nylon stockings in the traditional way. Gio from England is one of these rare nylon producers.

Here’s how to recognize the original nylon stocking:

Genuine nylons are made of 100% nylon; they are hardly stretchable, meaning they are inelastic. The seam always runs from the toe of the stocking to the fold point of the double welt. There is always a finishing hole in the double welt.
